How to sculpt robes on Space Marines: Hello there fellow modellers!. I did this because I know many of you would like to know how to do such work with Green Stuff. Well, here goes. Note that this isn't the definitive way on how to sculpt these robes; this is just how I do it.

Step 27 - 30 Loincloths: 27. Continue shaping and add folds until satisfied and then let cure. 28. Add a sausage of GS over a fold. 29. Blend one side of the sausage to the loincloth making it flat. 30. Blend the other side as in #29 making the very top of the fold edged.

Step 23 - 26 The Loincloth: 23. Well, start off like the hood. You can also make it slightly tapered at the top. 24. Apply between the legs with the tapered edge touching the belt as shown. 25 - 26. Shape the loincloth slightly. Modelling Tips: I like to keep one side touching a leg so that shaping wont be too hard.

Steps 19 - 22  The Hoods Continued: 19. Tuck in the other side. Start shaping the hood. You can have the top rounded, angled or pointed. I make mine angled kinda like the Sisters of Battle. 20 - 21. Fold the rear edge in on itself and then smoothen. You will notice that the collar will get in the way. I like to just get the GS over it. You may also want to cut it off altogether. 22. Add folds like before. Now you can glue the arms back on so that you can adjust the hood for the shoulder pads. Once satisfied, let cure..
